Does Your Vacation Home Have the Right Insurance?

Vacation homes are often used in one of three ways: owner occupied, as a rental, or unoccupied. Many people carry either a homeowners or landlord insurance policy, both of which often have significant coverage gaps. You will want to make sure you’re covered for all three situations.

If you vacation home is in the path of a named-storm, such as a hurricane, it’s possible that your home insurance deductible will increase. Many named-storm deductible clauses work by requiring a deductible that’s a certain percentage of a home’s value, which can be anywhere from one to ten percent. The hurricane deductible is designed to offer lower premiums, so the first thing you can do is to put aside that savings for damages. Be aware that hurricane deductibles only take affect if the home’s damage results from a storm officially named by the National Weather Service. 

Remember, no insurance is perfect – and so it is usually a good idea to have an umbrella insurance policy. They fill in any gaps in coverage in case of damages over and above your normal liability insurance.

You never know what’s going to happen, and you don’t get a second chance! Coordination is important for anyone, and having an experienced Financial Quarterback can save you time, money, and worry. 

Whatever you decide, make sure your assets are fully-coordinated to avoid unnecessary taxes and fees, now or later, to your investments, retirement plans and pass-along legacies.

2024 Review and 2025 Outlook

Posted By Lineweaver Financial Group
January 21, 2025 Category: Outlook, Market, Commentary

By Chad Roope, CFA®, Chief Investment Officer  2024 was a great year for the U.S. economy and equity markets. A strong economy, led by strong labor markets and significant investments in Artificial Intelligence, equated to double digit corporate earnings growth and thereby strong equity market performance. The U.S. was the clear economic leader globally and was why we had a strong overweight to quality, U.S. large-cap stocks all year. This overweight and our focus on active asset allocation, fundamental research and timely trade communications led to solid performance in our client portfolios in 2024, with most of our strategies strongly outperforming their benchmarks. Our proven process and seasoned team of Chartered Financial Analysts stand ready to navigate what is likely to be a dynamic environment in 2025. We think 2025 may prove to be a more volatile year given several uncertainties and rich starting valuation levels, but we think the year should prove to be a solid overall. Below are our key views: We expect U.S. outperformance compared to the rest of the world to continue amid solid economic growth, strong labor markets, lower inflation levels, a supportive Federal Reserve, and the potential for tax cuts and deregulatory policies. We continue to prefer large-cap, high quality U.S. equities as we think this is where the strongest overall earnings growth will continue to be. In fixed income, we are prioritizing higher income, shorter duration exposures t

Financial Planning for Separation and Divorce

Posted By Lineweaver Financial Group
January 16, 2025 Category: Divorce, Separation, Financial Plan

Divorce is a complex journey that requires thoughtful attention to legal, financial, and tax aspects, helping to shape a future aligned with your personal aspirations. Here are some essential factors to keep in mind: Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements play a crucial role in shaping the rights and responsibilities of spouses during a divorce. The prenuptial is created before the wedding, while the postnuptial comes into play afterward. They are especially valuable for couples with unique or complex assets, like collectibles or family business interests. These agreements not only help in valuing and dividing those assets fairly but also promote transparency and a sense of security for both partners as they navigate their future together. Cash flow and budgeting You’ll want to gain a clear picture of your personal and shared financial to help ease the transition. It's important to evaluate your spending, personal budget, additional costs, and income. If you foresee a shortfall, consider options such as adjusting investments, cutting expenses, or rethinking living arrangements to make transitions between homes smoother and more manageable. Tax implications During a divorce, you’ll need to consider how to split your existing assets, like in a property settlement, and any ongoing commitments to or from an ex-spouse, such as alimony or spousal support. Each is different and each may have tax implications. It's essen
